At Hollow Hill, we specialize in haunted sites that you can visit.

We investigate ghosts at public places. We tell you what we discover. We share driving directions and tips for getting the most from your visit.

Our ghost photos are our own, real pictures, and they’re free for you to view but not to copy.

All of our reports and ghost stories are original to Hollow Hill. They’re copyrighted, as well.  (If you see them on someone else’s website or forum, let us know.)

We also offer one of the Internet’s largest collections of complete, original articles that teach you how to be a ghost hunter.

Here’s why.

My house is haunted. Can you help?

Fiona Broome doesn’t usually investigate private homes.

She focuses on haunted public places such as parks, museums, cemeteries, hotels, and so on.

For help with any private residence or business, we recommend contacting a specialist in your area.

Be sure to ask for references, and check them.  Ask other professionals for their honest opinions, too… not just the fans of the specialist you’re considering.  (We hate that there are scams and con artists in this field, but there are, and some of them are very good at fooling people.)

If the situation is extreme or possibly dangerous:

If demons are a possibility, we recommend John Zaffis and PRSNE (203) 375-6083, Fr. Andrew Calder, and NEAR.

We cannot provide current lists of exorcists or demonologists in specific areas.  If no one linked on this page can help you, we recommend contacting your nearest Catholic or Episcopal church for information about their (free) exorcisms.

Your own church or religion may offer help, as well.

If paranormal problems are affecting your family — especially if children are at risk — we recommend Peter Haviland at Lone Star Spirits.  His unique approach to poltergeist issues makes him our first choice for those kinds of phenomena.  (He is very busy.  If a child is at risk, contact the demonologists listed above.)

Or, contact non-profit groups associated with the TAPS family of investigators.

Can you look at my photo and tell me if it’s a ghost?

At this time, due to the volume of requests, we’re unable to look at readers’ photos.

In the future, we hope to have time to examine and evaluate more great pictures from our friends and fans.

If you’re not sure if your photo shows a ghost, review Fiona’s articles at the Ghost Photography 101 section of this website.  There, you’ll see examples of very normal explanations of odd images in photos, and learn tips for spotting what’s paranormal.

Do you teach classes?

Fiona offers a free beginner’s ghost hunting course, and has written and contributed to many books.   She makes few public appearances.

Can someone from Hollow Hill speak at our event?

Fiona’s schedule is busy, especially around Halloween, but looks forward to meeting our friends, fans and other ghost hunters.

If you’d like Fiona Broome to appear at your event, please contact Ideal Event Management.  (They represent several other paranormal experts, too, so they may suggest other ghost hunters if Fiona is busy.)

Can I go on a ghost hunt with you?

At this time, we’re unable to include others in our regular research. If and when that changes, we’ll let you know here and in our free newsletter. (Subscribe using the form in the sidebar at right.)

Meanwhile, when Fiona participates in public tours, that information is usually posted on our homepage.

I’m under 18 and my parents don’t want me to go ghost hunting.  What can I do?

Most reputable ghost hunting groups won’t work with anyone under age 18 unless his or her parents sign a release… or even accompany the young adult on ghost hunts.

It’s not about the competence of young adults. Many people under age 18 are excellent psychics and ghost hunters.  However, we have to be careful of liability issues, especially if the minor’s parents are opposed to ghost hunting.

We generally don’t reply to email when we know (or suspect) that the person is under 18.

We never include unaccompanied minors in our investigations.  Generally, our team members must be at least 21 years old.

If you’re determined to begin ghost hunting, find a good local group and ask them to help with your parents.

There are risks involved in ghost hunting.  It’s important to work with an experienced group and learn the basics.

No one should go ghost hunting alone, regardless of their age.  Likewise, it’s vital to begin your ghost hunting with a team that has years of experience.  They’ll teach you how to be safe, and they’ll teach you how to get the most out of your ghost investigations.

I’ve been trying to contact Hollow Hill, but nobody replies.

We read every email and letter sent to us. However, due to the volume of letters that we receive–sometimes over 1000 each day–and the limits of our all-volunteer staff, we’re unable to reply to individual emails.

Nevertheless, your questions and comments help us plan future articles and products at Hollow Hill. We value your suggestions! Please use the contact form linked at the top of every page at Hollow Hill.

Thank you.
